HE ILER, Manager. The republcan state convention is to be held on April 5. That is not quite April 1, as the last one was, but it is close enough to have the same effect. Brother Hanly should be able to talk just as well on the fifth as on the first—that is, if he gets a chance. The new chairman of the republican state committee says that he "is just getting his bearings." That is what he says', but is he? Many abler republicans than the new and inex perienced chairman have not got their "bearings" and openly admit it. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times thus sizes up the various “splits" that afflict the republican party: "There is a foolish but prevalent idea that the present trouble in the republican party is entirely due to a few 'insurgents;’ and an equally foolish and nearly as prevalent idea that it is traceable to the tariff. The actual fact is that the situation of 1881-1882 is duplicated; that the party is split not only on these major issues, but on a thousand other things. In states where the tar’ff is perfectly satisfactory the party splits on some local issue like patronage. In states where an insurgent is a joke the party is split on local option. And if the party can’t find anything else to split on it splits on the Pinchot issue." ...m„ b . r?" I TIS CURABLE. Dyspepsia may be completely eradicated if properly treated.

Sunday was a most successful day at the Evangelical church. Instead of taking up the study of the lesson in the Sunday school, Decision Day was observed? - Each class first contributed its collection to the building fund, which amounted to $!3 and a few cents. Father Fuhrman’s class contributed $5.80, and was the banner class. After the secretary’s report, the evangelist, Rev. Klein, gave an evangelistic talk to the Sunday school, and then made an earnest appeal to the scholars to accept Christ as their personal Savior. Fifteen girls and boys bowed at the altar and gave themselves to their Christ. At 3 o'clock a men’s meeting was held in which about one hundred were present to hear a stirring address by Rev. Klein on the subject, “Two Contending Forces.” Every one present was inspired by the lucid as well as eloquent sermon. It was certainlj a joy to be in such a mass meeting of men. A goodly number of women were present, too. The Don s quartet rendered two beautiful selections, which were greatly appreciated by all present. The Y. P. A. met at 6:30 in an interesting meeting led by Miss Alice Burrell. After this another evangelistic service was conducted by the Rev. W. F. Klein. The church was filled to the doors and it was an inspiration to hear the large audience sing the gospel songs. A ladies’ quartet composed of Lllah Lachot. Mrs. Runyon, Mrs. Opliger and Kern sang very beautifully the battle song, “Is Jesus Yours?” They also sang another special selection to which the crowded house listened with great interest. Evangelist Klein then spoke upon the words, “For God so loved the world that whomsoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Rev. Klein was at his best and carried his audience, in his eloquent manner of speaking, up to a hieghts of ecstacy, such as has seldom been seen in Decatur. It Is certainly a rare treat to listen to such masterful sermons. A mothers' meeting will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. An address will be given to tne mothers, but the public also will be invited and welcomed to this special service. We again extend a cordial welcome to all who will come and worship with us in these special days.

CAPT. BOGARUS AGAiN HITS THE BULL’S EYE. This warld famous rifle shot, who holds the championship of 100 pigeons in 100 consecutive shots, is living at Lincoln, 111. Recently interviewed, he says: “I have suffered a long time with kidney and bladder trouble’and have used several well known kidney medicines, all of which gave me no relief until I started taking Foley’s Kidney Pills. Before I used Foley's Kidney Pills I was subjected to severe backaches and pains in my kidneys with suppression and oftentimes a cloudy voiding. While arising in the morning I would get dull headaches. Now I have taken three bottles of Foley’s Kidney Pills and feel 100 per cent better. I am never bothered with my kidneys or bladder and once more feel like my own self. All this I owe soley to Foley’s Kidney Pills and always recommend them to my fellow sufferers."
